County Prison Third Level.
As the sound of footsteps approached, Xiao Bieli soon appeared outside the cell.
He glanced at the two corpses before the cell door, then lifted his leg and stepped over them.
"Prefect Zhao!"
"Lord Xiao, why did you put shackles on Commander Jiang? Aren't you going a little too far?" Zhao Yulong's tone was calm.
But along with that calm in the air, anyone could sense that Zhao Yulong was angry at this moment.
Putting irons and shackles on Jiang Ning was no different from slapping him in the face.
Slapping the face of him, a Grandmaster.
Because before this, he had already made a bold boast to Jiang Ning.
"Prefect Zhao, please understand. People have come from Prefecture City. If I give Commander Jiang special treatment, this matter will become even more troublesome! Prefecture City will think we are colluding like jackals of the same lair, officials shielding one another!" Xiao Bieli said.
"Commander Jiang is not a criminal. This matter has already been concluded. There is no need to put him in shackles!" Zhao Yulong said.
"Since Prefect Zhao says so, then I shall naturally obey! These shackles will not be put on Commander Jiang again!" Xiao Bieli nodded and replied.
Then he looked at Jiang Ning.
"Commander Jiang, there is one matter I need you to answer! These two corpses at the door—where did they come from?"
"Last night, two petty thieves slipped into this place and tried to make a move against me. I was forced to counter-kill them!"
"To dare make a move against Commander Jiang, those two petty thieves had quite some guts!" Xiao Bieli echoed, then asked again, "Did the two of them make any other movements last night?"
"I don't know!" Jiang Ning shook his head.
Don't know?
